As the sun was about to set, the people in the inn lined up to leave under the watchful eye of the Iron Guards, and everyone who left had to keep their eyes open in the direction of the setting sun, and at the same time put their hands in the iron basin filled with stardust, and if their eyes were not red and their hands were not festering, they could leave.

However, everyone who is about to leave must register their address, age and name.

After Tang Xiaohao left the inn, he asked Tang Dun and Lian Lian to hire a carriage to send Hanshuang and Yueyan back to the Twelve Fangs, and before leaving, they gave each of them a red dragon eye, which was regarded as compensation.

After making sure that none of the people in the inn had changed into a dea, Tang Chen came to Sang Luo and said, "Great strategist, the case has been closed." ”

"We should go back to the imperial city to meet the emperor and make this matter clear," Sang Luo finished speaking, and then looked at Tang Xiaohao who was smirking not far away, "Ling Gongzi is about to become a concubine, let him be more restrained." ”

Tang Chen walked up to Tang Xiaohao and said: "I will send someone to escort you back, after you go back, you must keep to yourself, your second sister is about to become a concubine, and you are also about to become a concubine, don't make trouble anymore." ”

Tang Xiaohao had no choice but to say, "Got it." ”

After the five ironclad guards escorted Tang Xiaohao away, Tang Chen and Sang Luo got on their horses and returned to the imperial city, and Liao Yanqi, who was completely left out in the cold, stood there and watched the two leave, and what he was in a dilemma about now was how to explain to Mu Yinghao.

——

When Tang Xiaohao returned to the mansion, the five ironclad guards did not leave, and they didn't stop until they sent him to the gate of the side courtyard.

Tang Xiaohao stood in the side courtyard, looking at the five ironclad guards who were still standing there in line, he knew that this time he would never be able to leave the Tang Mansion for half a step.

After returning to the room, Tang Xiaohao suddenly realized that he had been away for two days and had not left Wu Tianlu to eat or drink, so he immediately turned on the mechanism and rushed into the basement, and then saw Wu Tianlu lying there, I don't know if he fainted from hunger or fell asleep.

Tang Xiaohao approached Wu Tianlu and poked his shoulder with his hand: "Big brother? ”

Wu Tianlu didn't react, Tang Xiaohao put his finger in front of Wu Tianlu's nostrils again, and after feeling that he was obviously breathing, he raised his hand and slapped Wu Tianlu in the face.

Wu Tianlu, who was originally so hungry that he fainted, woke up, and when he opened his eyes and saw Tang Xiaohao, he immediately turned over and got up and asked, "How is it?" What about Xiao Xuan? ”

Tang Xiaohao's face was embarrassed: "Big brother, I did my best, it was originally according to the plan, but Xiao Xuan became a deacon......

Subsequently, Tang Xiaohao truthfully informed Wu Tianlu of what happened.

After Wu Tianlu listened, he was about to say something, but his hungry stomach let out a loud cry for help.

Tang Xiaohao immediately said, "Big brother, I'll go get you some wine and food." ”

After that, Tang Xiaohao turned around and left, while Wu Tianlu sat there sighing.

After Tang Xiaohao brought food and drink from the kitchen, Wu Tianlu was not polite and sat there gobbling up. After eating for a while, I saw Tang Xiaohao sitting there in a daze, so I asked, "Brother, why don't you eat?" ”

Tang Xiaohao asked, "Big brother, are we brothers?" ”

Wu Tianlu knew that Tang Xiaohao was foreshadowing, so he simply said: "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush." ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately said, "Big brother, what the hell is the carapace?" ”

Wu Tianlu didn't explain immediately, obviously hesitating.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaohao said: "You still say it's a brother, and let me not beat around the bush." ”

Wu Tianlu said: "I won't tell you because I'm afraid that you will be implicated, but since you have seen it with your own eyes in the past two days, then I will tell you." ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately sat down and listened.

Wu Tianlu took a sip of wine: "How did the decanter come about, in fact, there are only legends. The so-called 癸, ranked tenth in the heavenly stem, also has a name called Zhaoyang. Zhaoyang has a son named Jia Xuan, who was also ranked in the immortal class after he was born, and was named Kui Xing by the Nine Heavens Emperor. But this Jia Xuan is arrogant and self-righteous, and has offended other immortals above the Nine Heavens, so it can be said that he has made enemies everywhere, so those immortals wrote to the Nine Heavens Emperor and asked the Nine Heavens Emperor to punish Jia Xuan. The Nine Heavens Emperor originally wanted to open up the net, who knows, Zhaoyang and Jia Xuan, father and son, in front of the Nine Heavens Emperor, began to count down those immortals, to put it mildly, it was not to give the Nine Heavens Emperor face at all, and the Nine Heavens Emperor was angry, and directly gave the two fathers and sons to death. ”

Tang Xiaohao nodded when he heard this, and asked again: "It sounds like these two people, no, these two fairy father and son are offended by too many people, but they are very curious, how did they offend?" Because what you said is too general, it sounds like other immortals are cautious. ”

Wu Tianlu said while eating: "I don't know, I just retell the legend to you." ”

Tang Xiaohao said: "Oh, okay, then you go on, eat slowly, don't choke, there are still more in the kitchen." ”

Wu Tianlu continued: "After the death of Zhaoyang and Jia Xuan's father and son, the resentment will not disappear, and it will fall directly on the land of the Nine Plains. The Dec Armor is not a human, nor a ghost, nor a demon, and some of the Dec Armor can even shuttle between Yin and Yang, that is, they can come and go freely between the Nine Plains and the Nine Domains. ”

Tang Xiaohao kept shaking his head after listening: "I still don't understand, so what is the caricature?" ”

Wu Tianlu sighed: "Hundreds of years ago, the decanate armor appeared, although the decanate armor looks no different from ordinary people, but the strength and speed are higher than ordinary people, and the most important thing is that these things will absorb people's essence, and those who are sucked dry will become dead corpses." Therefore, the armor was regarded as a demon, and the alien ways began to eradicate the armor at that time, but the armor can turn others into the same kind, which is what we now call infection. ”

Tang Xiaohao recalled Xiao Xuan's appearance: "Oh, no wonder Xiao Xuan became like that, no one is a ghost or a ghost." ”

"This is the strange place," Wu Tianlu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said solemnly, "The decanter I have seen before is completely different from the Xiao Xuan you described. ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately asked, "Then what kind of Jia Xuan did you see?" ”

Wu Tianlu pointed to himself and Tang Xiaohao and said: "It looks like there is no difference between you and me, I said it before, it is no different from ordinary people." ”

Tang Xiaohao remembered: "Yes, before leaving the inn, we all opened our eyes to the sunset, and then we had to put our hands in the iron basin full of stardust. ”

Wu Tianlu said: "After the average person is infected, the fastest six hours, the slowest twelve hours will become a carapace, but after becoming a carapace, it cannot be seen by the naked eye, and can only be distinguished by two methods, one is the sunset, and the other is stardust." When a person who has been transformed into a carat faces the setting sun, his eyes glow red and he is afraid of stardust. ”

Tang Xiaohao asked again: "What is Stardust?" I looked like sand, but when I went out, I saw that the sand was shining, as if it were stars in the sky, and it was quite beautiful. ”

Wu Tianlu explained: "The so-called stardust is the powder ground by the stars in the sky. ”

Tang Xiaohao's eyes widened: "Is there anyone else who can pick the stars in the sky and grind them into powder?" Who is so powerful? Immortal? ”

Wu Tianlu said with a smile: "It is a stone that falls from the sky, it is called a heavenly stone, and those who study astrology are called meteorites." ”

Tang Xiaohao nodded: "I know about meteorites, I read it in books, it turns out that stardust is meteorite ground into powder, I understand, I will go back and do some stardust to defend myself, but I still don't understand, according to what you just said, big brother, the carcass wants to absorb the essence of people, and it can also infect other people into carapace, I can understand that thing sucks essence, just like people want to eat, but caricature infects other people into the same kind, what is the picture?" What is the ultimate purpose of these things? ”

Wu Tianlu frowned and said: "What you said is also what we want to find out now, so far, we have not found out what the reason for the infection of other people is the carapace, we only know that these caramels can sense the existence of the same kind of people with each other, and they also divide the territory, and there will be a leader of the carapace in a certain area, which is called the ghost, and the ghost is more powerful than the ordinary carapace, and it is not easy to eliminate." ”

Tang Xiaohao pondered for a moment and asked, "What if the decanter doesn't suck the essence of people?" ”

Wu Tianlu replied: "If you don't suck the essence of people, you can live by eating ordinary people's things, but the strength and speed are not as good as those that absorb the essence of people. ”

Tang Xiaohao was still full of doubts: "So, is Guijia still the same person before?" Or has it completely changed? ”

Wu Tianlu said: "Strictly speaking, it is still the same person before, and the memory behavior and personality are the same. ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately said: "So, if the armor is not harmful, isn't it no different from ordinary people?" ”

Wu Tianlu said: "That's true, but after becoming a decanter, people can't completely control themselves, it's okay in a short time, but after a long time, it will harm others." ”

Tang Xiaohao began to think crankily again: "Big brother, you said that if everyone in the world wants to become a decanter, isn't it the same as now?" Or is it that the carapace is so hungry that even the same kind of people smoke it? ”

Wu Tianlu shook his head: "So far, I haven't heard of cannibalism. ”

Tang Xiaohao got up and said: "That's right, what are you afraid of, everyone has changed their armor, isn't this the same as not?" ”

Wu Tianlu said coldly: "Brother, the last person who said such a thing has been divided into corpses by the five horses of the different ways. ”

Tang Xiaohao was stunned, and it took a long time before he said: "I'll go, you alien people are more cruel than Jiajia?" People told such a truth, and they were dragged out to split the corpses? ”

Wu Tianlu motioned for Tang Xiaohao to sit down: "Brother, listen to me, people in the heretical way and the decanter are completely opposed, in order to prevent the decanter from harming people, the heterogeneous has sacrificed an unknown number of people for thousands of years. Also, half of our beggar gang belongs to the rivers and lakes, and half belongs to the different ways, and it is the most unique gang among the different ways in the rivers and lakes. ”

Tang Xiaohao became interested when he heard this: "I know martial arts and internal skills, I don't know any internal skills, because the masters who taught me have not taught me, as for the magic power, this is the first time I have heard of it." ”

Wu Tianlu explained: "Martial arts are tricks to put it bluntly, which can be seen, but internal power is not, internal power is divided into congenital and acquired, congenital is brought out in the mother's womb, and the acquired is obtained through daily life cultivation, internal power is the qi of human body activities, with dantian as the core, it is also stored in the dantian on weekdays, and if you have to explain the magic power, it is the spiritual power of people." ”

Tang Xiaohao scratched his head: "I don't understand at all." ”

Wu Tianlu continued to explain: "Spiritual power exists in the human head, and the human brain is the container for the storage of spiritual power. ”

Tang Xiaohao sat down, breathed slowly, and relaxed his whole body.

Wu Tianlu said again: "Use the palm of one hand to block the closed eyes." ”

Tang Xiaohao raised his left hand to block his eyes.

Wu Tianlu asked, "Did you see anything between your eyebrows?" ”

Tang Xiaohao said: "No, it's pitch black." ”

Wu Tianlu frowned, a little regretful, he thought that Tang Xiaohao, a person who could learn the world's martial arts, should also have good qualifications, but he didn't expect to see anything.

Tang Xiaohao saw that Wu Tianlu was silent, and immediately asked, "Big brother, what do you mean?" ”

Wu Tianlu said: "The spiritual power is concentrated at the center of the eyebrows from the eyes, and then flows to all parts of the body, and only by borrowing the magic power can the talisman spell be driven, and a powerful power can be burst out." ”

Tang Xiaohao opened his eyes and said, "Talisman spell? Is it all the things that Taoist priests use? ”

Wu Tianlu said: "Generally speaking, the talisman spell used by ordinary Taoist priests is just a beautiful vision, and it actually has no effect, just a heart comfort. ”

Tang Xiaohao suddenly realized: "That is equivalent to everything going well, peace and joy, happy birthday, etc., all just for auspicious purposes?" ”

Wu Tianlu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes, that's what it means, because ordinary Taoist priests don't have magical powers, but those who are advanced in Taoism are completely different. ”

Tang Xiaohao was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, but immediately asked again: "Big brother, what level has your magic power reached?" ”

Wu Tianlu pulled out a piece of rune paper from his waist, and then threw it at the wall, and when the rune paper just touched the wall, it exploded, directly blasting the wall into a hole the size of two fists.

Tang Xiaohao opened his mouth wide and looked at the wall, then slowly stepped forward, looked at the hole closer, and compared it with his hand: "This power is comparable to a firecracker, it's completely a small cannon." Big brother, you taught me how to cultivate magical powers, right? ”

Wu Tianlu looked at Tang Xiaohao with his hands behind his back and said: "Internal power is divided into six layers, also called Liuhe, which has two meanings, the first layer refers to the direction, that is, the east, west, north and south, up and down, and the second layer refers to the six parts of the human body, that is, the hands, feet, elbows, knees, shoulders and hips." The magic power is divided into nine layers, which are called value symbols, beetle snakes, Taiyin, Liuhe, Gou Chen, Taichang, Vermilion Bird, Nine Lands and Nine Heavens. ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately heard some questions: "Is the Liuhe of internal strength and the Liuhe of the fourth layer of alien magic power the same meaning?" ”

Wu Tianlu nodded: "You are very smart, it is indeed a meaning, in fact, people from different paths, as long as they break through themselves and accumulate magical power, they will naturally learn internal strength when they are in the fourth layer, but, as far as I know, among the current alien paths, no one has cultivated to the ninth layer of alien power, at most to the seventh layer of Vermilion, that is already the top master of the alien way." ”

Tang Xiaohao asked again: "Big brother, how many layers have you cultivated?" ”

Wu Tianlu said: "The fifth layer is hooked. ”

Tang Xiaohao nodded: "The fifth layer is good, my lucky number is five." ”

After speaking, Tang Xiaohao approached Wu Tianlu with a hippie smile: "Big brother, then do you think it will take me a few days to reach your level?" ”

Few days? You kid didn't even touch the door now. Wu Tianlu couldn't bear to hit Tang Xiaohao, so he had to say: "If you want to cultivate alien magic, you must first break through yourself." ”
